Celebrities Rally for Charity

Celebrities Rally for Charity Sept. 21, 2010 before Exotic Car Auction

More than 30 Hollywood celebrities will don racing jump suites and drive classic cars in a 100-mile charity rally on Nov. 18 from El Segundo, CA, to the checkered flag in Palm Springs where Keith McCormick Exotic Car Auction begins the following day.

The "Great American Celebrity Classic Car Road Rally" will be honoring the life and career of Tony Curtis and benefiting the Got Kids charity based in El Segundo and the Palm Springs Angel View Crippled Children organization.

Celebrities from reality TV shows, daytime soaps and other popular shows are being selected. The rally begins at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, CA, and ends at the grand tent at the Spa Resort and Casino in downtown Palm Springs adjacent to the car auction, to be held the weekend of Nov. 19 to the 21.

The public is invited to the gala event, which includes a silent auction of movie memorabilia along with dinner followed by a live auction and dancing. A photo op with the stars is also planned. Tickets are $50, as a donation to the Charity. Auction information is available on McCormick's website, www.classic-carauction.com or by calling 760 320-3290. The website explains entry fees, rules and other details and has photos of the vehicles to be auctioned.

More than 600 cars, trucks and other vehicles will show up for the three-day auction.

The auction will stream live via the Internet. People who register in advance may bid for cars by phone, said Keith McCormick. At the previous auction, people tuned in from across the United States, Europe and New Zealand and bid on cars. It is unknown how many people watched the auction live on their computers at home or office. To connect to the live broadcast and receive registration information, go to www.classic-caraution.com.

People bidding by telephone will have to register in advance and follow the same procedures as people attending the auction, McCormick noted. Bidding requires a $30 registration fee and a "good faith deposit," which is refunded if nothing is purchased, McCormick said.

An impressive array of vehicles at this auction will include antique cars and trucks, muscle cars from the 1960's and 70's, foreign and U.S. sports cars, trucks and motorcycles. Vehicle prices vary from a few thousand dollars well into six figures.

Keith and Jason McCormick, father and son, work with other family members to create the car show and auction. "Palm Springs, which has always been home for many exotic cars, is the perfect setting for the event," said Keith, who has produced the auction for the past 22 years.
